John Miller (Billy the Kid claimant)

John Miller (1850? – November 7, 1937) was said to have claimed to be the famous Western outlaw Billy The Kid. In May 2005, Tom Sullivan and Steven Sederwall of the Lincoln County Sheriff's Department in New Mexico exhumed the bones of John Miller from his gravesite at Pioneers' Home Cemetery in Prescott, Arizona in an attempt to get his identity verified. Though the pair believed the exhumation was permitted, official permission was not provided. [Associated Press (2006-10-24) " [http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qn4188/is_20061024/ai_n16801551 2 won't face charges in Billy the Kid quest] . Deseret News (Salt Lake City). FindArticles.com. Retrieved 2008-08-29.] A DNA analysis was performed by Henry Lee, a noted forensic scientist, but results were never released. As of 2008, a lawsuit is pending against officials in Lincoln County that would, if successful, publicize the results of that test along with other evidence collected by Sullivan and Sederwall in their investigation.
